2011 Winner

Gerd Albers Award 2011

In 2011 four contributions were received. The quality of the publications was very good and therefore it was a difficult task for the Jury to make a decision.
The Jury members (Dirk Engelke (Chair), Chris Gossop, Peter Robinson, Ric Stephens and Didier Vancutsem) brought out a vote taking into consideration the evaluation criteria set up by the Chair of the Jury, Dirk Engelke. These were:
1. Does it bring its message across in a comprehensible way?
2. Does the design convey the contents?
3. How does the book/paper fit into the broader context of urban theory and practice?
4. Relevance of the book/paper within the major current debates in urban planning
5. How does the book/paper illustrate the variety of problems and solutions related to the new challenges cities or regions of different sizes and nature are facing?
